Practical Ethics for Effective Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Practical Ethics for Effective Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder is for individuals working directly with, or supervising, those who work with autism patients. Introducing Western ethical principles, the book outlines strategies professionals can use to ensure appropriate ethical behavior. It addresses the implementation of treatments available, how to stay up-to-date on best practice recommendations, and how to effectively collaborate with professionals both within and outside one's own discipline. The book will help readers understand how to avoid or mitigate instances that lead to dual-relationships, harm to clients, and other outcomes that are incongruent with the core tenants of moral and ethical principles.
